Using UML to develop Knowledge-based System for Adaptive Scheduling

Abstract:- It is one of the most important issues that constructing better Knowledge-Based System (KBS) to fulfill an efficient adaptive scheduling to complex manufacturing system. A method for developing and documenting the KBS for adaptive scheduling, using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) is presented. It employed UML to describe the system analysis, system design and system implementation of KBS, so various views were built up to explore the static structure and dynamic behavior of KBS. This method alleviates the highly dependent on domain knowledge experts. The quality and efficiency of the KBS are improved. Finally a case is given to validate the feasibility and reliability of the proposed approach. Key-Words:- Adaptive scheduling; KBS; UM
